"The 20" rivet ride and the 22" regular ride
worked great as a dynamic two-cymbal
team. Since they’re both fairly thin, they
could be crashed for big, emphatic hits,
and they both elicited a clean, woody
stick attack for articulate patterns. The 22"
was more silvery and smooth sounding,
due to its more prominent and even sustain.
And its bell sound, while rich and
thick, blended more with the overall wash
of the cymbal than it did on the 20".
The 20" rivet ride was more distinct,
as its bell sound was stronger, its crash
sound was richer, and its bow sound had
more personality due to the subtle sizzle
added by the rivets. This ride perfectly
embodied its Vintage Soul moniker, as it
sounded a lot like the cymbal that funky
drummer Jabo Starks spanks during the
bridge beat of the 1970 James Brown hit
“Super Bad.”"
